Title: Multilayer video management and display carried out over networks
Inventor: LI SHIH-TER
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2005-09-21
Abstract: In a multi-layer video management and display method carried over networks, configuration parameters S10 are set for a plurality of nodes on the networks so that these nodes can be divided into several father layers and several son layers. A root is also set for a network matrix mode. Connection between every two nodes is achieved through these networks.

Title: Simultaneous support of multiple mobility protocols in a flexible reconfigurable mobile terminal
Inventor: GEORGANOPOULOS NIKOLAOS
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2006-06-01
Abstract: A method to enhance the design of flexible network protocol stack to concurrently support multiple modular mobility protocols is based on the derived framework enabling the design of such a flexible reconfigurable terminal. It can further control at run time the mobility protocols and thus transparently operate more than one protocol simultaneously, for example, both macro and micro mobility protocols. A dynamic protocol database 180 stores the location of the various protocol modules in the memory 150. A single reconfiguration element is maintained in a Generic Mobility Components 130 and is controlled by an Event Identifier in the Generic Mobility Component Manager 110. The Event Identifier 114 is enhanced to process all incoming events and reconfigure the elements to the related part of the Protocol Database according to the relevant protocol the event is associated with. The resulting flexible architecture employs an enhanced protocol component design and may be implemented in numerous manners and platforms. A mobile terminal 100 with this architecture may move around and transparently connect to different access networks. It is further enabled to operate concurrently more than one protocol to fulfil various application scenarios and their requirements. This enables mobile terminals to become more intelligent and operate flexibly in a heterogeneous multi-access network environment with multiple protocol support.

Title: Method for assembling a camera module
Inventor: HO CHUN-TSAI
IPC: H01L21/56
Filed: 2006-11-02
Abstract: A camera module includes a composite printed circuit board 21, an image sensing chip 22 and an underfill 24.

Title: Extracting timing data from a two part preamble, the second part of the preamble being the inverse of the first part.
Inventor: MASSAM PETER DAVID
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 2006-12-01
Abstract: The invention provides a method of decoding data contained within a signal that comprises a set of slots, at least one said slot comprising a preamble portion and a payload portion. The preamble portion comprises at least a first sequence of data and a second sequence of data, and the second sequence is the inverse of the first sequence. A transition 31 between said first and second sequences of data is identified and used to derive timing data for triggering extraction of information from the payload portion. The sequences of data can be embodied as a repeating pattern comprising at least two elements: e.g. first sequence can comprise 24 pairs of [1, 0] "dotting" and the second sequence can comprise 8 pairs of [0,1] "anti-dotting". An alternative embodiment provides a method of identifying a frequency suitable for adjusting frequency offset by identifying a magnitude of a preamble signal within a first frequency band, identifying a magnitude of the preamble within a second frequency band, calculating the difference between the magnitudes, repeating this process for other pairs of frequency bands and accumulating the differences. The inventions are particularly relevant to decoders for low data rate RF signals.
